Mitochondria play a pivotal role in cellular metabolism, energy production, and apoptotic signaling, making mitophagy, the selective degradation of damaged mitochondria, crucial for mitochondrial health. Dysregulation of mitophagy has been implicated in various neuroendocrinopathies, yet the mechanisms linking these processes remain poorly understood. This review aims to explore the intersection between mitophagy and neuroendocrinopathy, addressing the critical gaps in knowledge regarding how mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to the pathophysiology of neuroendocrine disorders.

Neuroinflammation, triggered by microglia and astrocytes, contributes to neuronal damage and cognitive impairment. This paper aims to explore the relationship between the gut-brain axis and neuroinflammation in TBI and its potential implications for therapeutic interventions.
